“Erik was so helpful, as I can walk some of my dogs but not all. He took the one that I couldn't & gave him a good workout. He communicated well, asking if could come early as his schedule opened up. I will use him again.”

About: Hi! My name is Madison and I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities! I have had dogs all my life and currently have two cats of my own, Willow and Daisy. From volunteering at local animal rescues to previous work at a doggy daycare center, I have experience with a broad range of temperaments and can quickly adapt to meet the needs of individual pets. As a pharmacy technician, I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medical needs such as insulin or medication. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible! My shifts are usually 8 hours and vary throughout the week so I can adjust my schedule as needed! I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets in my care by maintaining a pet-friendly, secure environment. At my home, I ensure all potential hazards (like toxic plants or dangerous objects) are kept out of reach, and I provide designated areas for rest, play, and meals. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their specific instructions regarding routines, diet, and preferences, while also ensuring their home is safe and comfortable for the pet. I aim to establish trust through clear communication, regular updates, and by respecting the pet's needs and boundaries, making sure they feel comfortable and at ease throughout my care.

About: I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology! I previously have worked at dog/cat boarding facilities, and vet clinics. I have had dogs, cats, & goats throughout my life! I currently have my dog living with me here in Cedar Rapids, & 2 cats back in Indiana living with my parents. I am comfortable with any size dog & weight. I am also comfortable with medications if necessary! I am a travel agent that works from home. My schedule is extremely flexible! I am very comfortable with whatever your pet needs whether it’s ones who require constant attention & playing for an hour, or ones who prefer to have their own space. Whatever your pet needs I am happy to provide! My dog is spoiled to the max & I ensure your pet will receive the same treatment! I am down for just opening a door to let them out in their backyard, watching their favorite movie from the couch, playing with their toys, or strolls around their neighborhood!

About: My adoration of all kinds of animals and my attention to detail make me a wonderful choice to care for your fur babies. I have five animals that I help take care of, and experience with dogs of varied temperaments. I also have experience in administering medications orally. My schedule is flexible, with availability on most weekends during the summer, so I’m available for all of your vacation needs. As a graduated senior heading off to college in the fall, my availability is very flexible throughout this summer. I am also available to schedule last-minute bookings. I am well-versed in feeding, watering, crating, and walking animals. Plenty of time will be dedicated to playtime, snuggles, and lots of love! I will ensure all instructions given are followed to a tee, to give your pet the best care possible.

“Amanda was great! She went out of her way to make the entire process easy on me and was very responsive!”

About: A happy pet is a happy house! They are the mainstay of our homes and caring for them gives me so much joy! I care for multiple dogs and cats as my friends and family need! I have a lot of experience with feeding, walking, playing, bathing etc.I have been in pet care for over 20 years and taken care of many pets with a variety of needs. I understand pets have their own unique personalities and need different care/attention to make them be there best! I would love to be able to care for your pet and I will gladly help give them what they need to be happy and healthy while you’re away I work full time at a tennis facility but my hours make sure that pups get morning and afternoon walks just fine! (Plus tennis balls!) I am more than willing to care for and accommodate basic pet needs as well as more complicated ones. I prefer care be written down somewhere for later reference if needed. Water will always be full and available and anything that may cause harm to your pet (wires, small or sharp objects, etc) will be out of reach or inaccessible to your pet through height/doors/secured areas.

“Great communication and updates on how each walks goes with my dog! I really appreciate their dedication to giving a great experience and the care of my dog!”

About: I have owned pets my whole life. My two Bernese Mountain Dogs both recently passed and I would love to care for your pets as I get over their loss. I work 7:30-4:30 in Hiawatha Monday-Friday with a 1 hour lunch for letting the dog out at noon, all my other time is available before and after work. I am not currently offering in-home pet care. Will update if this changes in the future. No pricing has been provided for this particular service.

About: Ever since I was young I have been surrounded by animals and have always found a connection with them. I have watched and cared for pets owned by friends and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I am currently working part time and have plenty of spare time to take care and entertain your furry friends! I work 2-10pm some days, but message me and we can work out a schedule together! I am flexible and can accommodate accordingly. I prefer to take care of animals in the comfort of their own home. I am very respectful and a trusted individual so your animals and space are safe with me.

About: I have lots of puppy care experience, and I know how to take care of all types of breeds. I will make sure your animals are loved and treated like family! I’m currently looking for a full time job, so I am able to give your animals the care and attention they need throughout the day. I live in an apartment with lots of space, so I can accommodate a lot of different animals. Also a huge outside area where they can do their business and play!

About: I love pets and I will take care of yours as if they’re my own! I have been around pets of all kinds my whole life; I can adapt my care to various needs because I know every pet is different! I was raised in a home with two cats and two dogs, so it was a small zoo! It was at a young age that I learned how to clean a litter box and how to clean up the dog waste in the yard, so nothing like that scares me off! I also have been taking care of others' pets since I was in elementary school! Primarily, my pet care experience has been with cats and dogs, but I have no trouble following instructions if you have a different kind of pet! I'd love the chance to love your pets! My current work hours fluctuate right now, but my current availability is: Mon-Thur as early as you need me until 3:45pm. I'm available after 9pm. Friday is entirely available Saturday I'm working 10am-2:30pm. Sunday is entirely available I always make sure to respect an animal’s space and boundaries until they clearly indicate they are comfortable with me. I never assume an animal is friendly until they show it!

About: My family got our first dog when I was in my teens and have I've always had a dog since then. My first dog as an adult was already a 'senior' by the time I had my 3 kids. We shared 17 years with her! I regularly petsit for friends and neighbors for dogs of all ages and they all love me. I'm a strong proponent of walking dogs to gain their love and respect. If only our pets could live forever! I'm a stay at home mom and work part time for our family business. I am familiar with the Cedar Rapids Area, but with my busy lifestyle would prefer jobs close to home if possible. I do not have a fenced yard Or a crate. My dog Is An only pet and I walk him daily at least 2 miles.

“Landon is so chill & sweet with Trygve, my sweet Norwegian Elkhound. Tryg loves to "scent walk" and is a big boy and tends to pull very hard ( & I'm a small person), so this has been a win-win for us! Welcome to the family, Landon!”

About: I have taken care of my brothers dog who is 8 years old (Rottweiler/Lab 70lbs) for almost three years now. And once in a while I watch over my sisters dog who is a 2 year old American bulldog. I’ve taught my my brothers Rottweiler how to stay, sit. He is a very needy dog but I’ve learned to be patient. I taught my sister puppy to sit, give me his paw and leave it. Doggies can be so energetic but that’s the fun part. I’m currently working overnights (10pm/6am). And my mornings/ evenings are pretty flexible. The only days I wouldn’t be able to be free is on Tuesdays evening. At my apartment building we have a fenced yard made for pets if needed. Otherwise my apartment is pet free and your pet is safe. I can also watch them at your place if needed.

About: I’ve had a dog in my life since the day I was born. I love to spend time with dogs by going for walks or car rides (if the owner allows it of course!) I have a cat and a dog of my own that I care for daily. All the usuals like feeding, letting outside, cleaning the litter box, but I also love to take my dog for walks and car rides or play with her in the back yard. I have so much fun playing with my cat and just giving him love! I’m usually very good about being able to let dogs out every couple of hours and love to hang out for a while to keep your pets company while you’re away!

“Karley agreed to Help with very short notice and followed the care directions based on text and photo instruction. She was on time for both her visits and sent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Highly recommended”

About: I have two dogs of my own who love I take on daily hikes and walks and would love other doggos to hangout with us! We love to bike and hike in the summers and ski and snowshoe in the winters. I’m currently a student so I have most of my classes remotely so I am home most of the day to hangout with the pups! I have 2 crates if needed and walking trails nearby. Please let me know if there is anything you need to accommodate your animals needs.

About: I have always been with animals when I was a kid and everyone counted on me to take care of their animals. They trusted me. I work full time Monday through Friday. Open on the weekends.

Big open place to run around.
